If the headline said "Using Python to obtain one of the rarest license plates" you wouldn't think twice.
The scripts he wrote to pull the data were written in TypeScript, though all the TS I see is in the parameters in the function signature. Also he used Next.js for the dashboard

(It could say "React," but still, the interesting part is that you built a scraper/visualizer, not that it used React.)
